In the original cartoon series, Shredder did not try to kill the Turtles right away. He offered for them to join him. This was used again in the 4Kids series. Each time Shredder has tried to win the Turtles over to his side he has failed, and soon decides to destroy them. In the IDW comics we have a different situation where Shredder knows the Turtles from their previous life. He does not want just any Turtle, he wants Leonardo. He has a goal set and is aimed to get it. In TMNT #22, Leonardo was caught by the Shredder. So here comes the question that everyone has. How will Shredder get Leonardo by his side?

A year of stories have been building up to a big fight, Ninja Turtles vs. The Foot! IDW Publishing has been keeping us on our toes with all these comics building more and more on the characters and stories. Tom Waltz has been bringing us through this world building up the tension. With Dan’s artwork flowing right through. What a comic. And here issue 12 is finally here bringing us a battle of good vs. evil. Though this does not end the story, this is only the beginning.

Since IDW has taken on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle comic books, we've been going for one ride after another. Though it's been a blast, not everyone has been able to keep up with the comics coming out. A few months ago, IDW published TMNT Change is Constant Volume 1. This graphic novel held the first four issues of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with the introduction of Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello, as they fight Old Hob in the mission to be together again. Now we're getting issues five through nine in their new graphic novel Enemies Old Enemies New.

Since IDW has started the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle run, we have been waiting for the Shredder to make an appearance, to see the new story line start up, and how they are going to handle the Foot. After issue 5, the question got even bigger with the original Oroku Saki returning as well? When the cover of issue 10 was released, everyone saw the new image of the Shredder, which has made us so excited, waiting for this issue of Turtles to hit the shelves. Now it's finally here!

This week issue 6 of the IDW TMNT comics came to stores. After recently re-reading the other issues this was great timing as I got to go straight from reviewing those into following it up with the new story. And with how excited I was with issue five of the series, issue six could only get me more excited about IDW.

Welcome to my review of TMNT #5, still in the midst of catching up with comics that came out during the time of my surgery and while healing. If you’ll like to know more about the surgery and why I fell behind here on Cowabunga Corner, please read RSD Update.

Issue #3 of the IDW TMNT comics came out months ago. Though I’ve been keeping up with reading the comics, I have fallen behind in reviewing them. Really sorry about that. I am going to work at catching up on doing some reviews starting with where I left off. Going to be harder to keep my mind only on #3, since I have read all the way through issue #5. Though this one is going to focus on only issue 3, not what we know is to come still.
